This is an ebook I put together summing up my first 2 years of blogging and Addison's initial diagnosis.If you've ever wondered what it's like to be told that your unborn child has Down syndrome....if you've ever wondered what it's like to be an extended stay NICU mom...if you've ever wondered what it's like to hand your baby over for heart surgery...if you've ever wondered how to cope when your dreams are replaced with something you didn't want...read this book for a first hand account of the scariest time in a first time mom's life. (60 pages) This is the raw-personal-upclose version, NOT at polished, shiny memoir. If that's what you're looking for this is probably the wrong book for you.
